I’m of the belief that God has holes in the knees of his jeans. Yes, God has jeans and they are both Holy and holey. Yesterday I was down on my knees play/picking-up toys if you’re a parent you get it.. you pick up while you play… it’s kind of an “80/20 rule” of sorts. I… Read more »

We’ve all heard it. “Do as I say, not as I do.” What does “Do as I say not as I do” imply? It implies.. quite bluntly… you are a lazy parent. Telling your child to “do as you say and not as you do” is a cop-out of all cop outs. You… Read more »

i was listening to a podcast the other day when something startled me…. the teacher said (and I am paraphrasing) : if we neglect to acknowledge that we are tempted everyday, then we have been deceived.

I have re-learned something about God while interacting with Roman. The other day I did a little “experiement” I just let Roman kind of meander around the room, he was playing with his books, toys, and even getting into things that he shouldn’t have been, but I let him do it… then I would run… Read more »

my awesome wife had a great insight the other day, her confession (and I’ve made this mine too) is that God is different sizes and different strengths for each area of her (and my own) walk and life. For me: At home God is big! At church God is pretty big, at work (it is… Read more »

this is an old post… but I’m posting again. —————-I cannot claim to know your depths or even begin to see your heights. I am not worthy to lay prostrate before You, Yet YOU have come to ME. When all the arrows have made there hit and I find my shield was not raised, my… Read more »
